Using the workaround it works, although to be honest I forgot why I wanted to use linuxmce, none of the alleged out of the box features from the video worked out of the box. I had an easier time modifying Knoppmyth to interact with my X10 system and remote than I did with linuxmce. If myth worked well under MCE I would switch but I think I will wait for 1.1 before trying again...
